Electro-stimulator
Electro-stimulator (1) includes electrode pad (60) that outputs current to provide electrical stimulation to a muscle, angular velocity sensor (51) that detects information on motion of a waist, and controller (30) that adjusts magnitude of the current output from electrode pad (60) based on a result of the detection by angular velocity sensor (51). Electro-stimulator (1) further includes belt (11) that supports electrode pad (60), angular velocity sensor (51), and controller (30). Thus, current flows through an abdomen, thereby providing electrical stimulation to the abdomen, and enabling proper training of abdominal muscles.

Wrist-worn independent 3-point acupuncture stimulator
A method and device for controlling nausea, anxiety and stress. The device includes a wristwatch-like housing, electrical circuitry for generating electrical impulses of which low-frequency of which direct current (DC) electrical pulses are preferred, a metal ground plate, three adjustable metal contact points, indicator lights, function buttons on the housing, and a strap for securing the housing to the wrist. There may also be a screen display for visualizations of different functions. An internal processor controls all device functions and can optionally communicate via USB or short-range communications with a telephone App. The method allows simultaneous application of a pulse voltage output to acupuncture points H7, Lu9 and P6 (Buddha's Triangle). An alternate embodiment uses three permanent magnets to simultaneously stimulate the three points of Buddha's Triangle.

Electrical Stimulator
An electrical stimulator is provided including: a base wire configured with a core wire and an outer winding wire wound around the core wire with the core wire serving as a winding axis. The core wire is entirely coated by an insulating film, and an annulus is formed by spiraling or looping the base wire. One end of the core wire is electrically connected to one end of the outer winding wire. The other end of the core wire is connected to a first terminal of an external circuit. Further, the other end of the outer winding wire is connected to a second terminal of the external circuit. Thus, the annulus can apply an electrical stimulation to a living body.
